Shed From The Spring

What would earth do
When all its spring would have shed away
Into the past of calendars?
The beavers and raccoon
Would steal a part of it with them
That no one could measure
For its meagerness;
And the frogs and the snakes
Would be hidden in its lower space.
For the snow would settle on the bare branches
And warm them for other lives
Which arises from the furnace of hope and faith,
And will spread through the sands
To show its calm at the hour of sleep.
This would be called the beginning of a life
And another spring,
If you ask the earth
Which is shed from its spring.
